The better a Robt. smith to effect any legislative leverage In behalf of consumers' interests, Mrs. Neuberger plans to apply for a seat on the Senate Inter state and Foreign Commerce committee. This committee, whose chairman is Washington Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, has jur isdiction over all bills affect ing the government's host of regulatory agencies, such' as tee Federal Trade Commis sion, the Federal Communica tions Commission, Federal ' Power Commission and oth ers.

Headed ty Sen. Harry Byrd (D-Va.), this committee could be a major source of difficulty for the new Democratic presi dent, John F, Kennedy, when it comes to his proposal for adding medical insurance to the social security program. Byrd'g committee declined to approve such a bill last ses- slon, adopting instead the legislation extending assist ance to the needy through greater grants to the states. Power In Tax Laws ' There is a vacancy on the Finance Committee, due to the defeat of Sen. Allen Frear of Delaware. This is a much sought committee, however, because of its power in writ ing tax laws. ' Mrs. Neuberger would also be interested in, and most likely to obtain, a seat on the Interior Committee, which deals with strictly western problems from irrigation to Indians. The special value to her im mediately of. membership on this committee is that the pro posed Oregon Dunes National Seashore legislation ' must emerge from the Interior Committee if It is going to be enacted, Kennedy, a sponsor of such legislation tor Cape Cod during the past year, is expected to recommend sea shore legislation after he takes office in January. Second in Seniority ' The new chairman of the Interior Committee Is likely to be Sen. Henry M, Jackson (D-Wash.), unless it is taken by Sen. Clinton Anderson (D N.M.).

BECHTOLD - New York - (UPII - The de pressed steel Industry may see its operations dip to 45 per cent of capac ity for Decem ber and less than 40 per cent around the holidays. But this is con sidered a sea sonal de cline and will not mean that ' Uenry Becbtuld the steel econ omy Is going backwards again, It only emphasizes that year end factors carry a greater impact In a downtorn period than they do when the econ omy is trending upward. However, Tom Campbell. editor-in-chief of Iron Age magazine, said the steel in dustry by the end of the year will be in better shape to "start something going" than it was at the end of 1957. He cited skimpy steel inven tories, no mill backlog, and the chance that there will be labor troubles again in 1962 as factors setting the stage for the recovery. But Campbell does not ex pect, any substantial recovery to start until next March.

Johnson told the 36th an nual conference of the Asso ciated Collegiate Press that the winds of change sweeping the world at the beginning of the 1960s are bound to affect journalism as they already Four Appear in Circuit Court Four men appeared in Jack son county circuit court Mon day, three of them on bad check charges.

Special cases such -as pipe line orders are the only exceptions. Most unfilled ton nages are nothing more than orders placed awaiting hasty processings,- 1 Chances are good that the bottom in new order volume has been reached. But Camp bell said there is no assurance that order volume will get off the floor in the near future. Any significant change in steel, according to Campbell, will follow past patterns: The cycle will be changed and the move upward; inventories will be too low; there will be fear of a price increase; and the smarter purchasing agents Polk County Sheriff Suspicious of Attempt By Four To Escape Jail Dallas, Ore.-(UPD-"Hi big bully. All I can say is help . . . we need one pack of good hacksaw blades . . ." Polk County Sheriff Tony Nsufoldt said Tuesday this note was smuggled out by four county jail prisoners in an unsuccessful attempt to escape. ' ' The four, arrested Nov. 11 in the Y cafe near here and charged with burglary arc Richard Evan Bankston, 24; Fred Joseph Winkler, 28; James Jesse Roberts Jr., 27, and Robert Lee Arnold, 24, all of Salem. Neufeldt said the four apparently hoped to break out Monday night. They had hung a string weighted with a spoon out of their cell window on the second floor of the jail. The Idea was for an accomplice lo tie on some hacksaw blades. But a fifth Salem man, Frank Carrol Ward, 24, was ar rested in Salem Saturday on a charge of vagrancy and on him was the note. The note also asked that a get-away car be left in a parking lot near the jail in was apparently smuggled out released. Chance To Watch Masters most coveted prizes. His title will be former pres ident by then, but the south ern hospitality he has. enjoyed at the Augusta National Golf club on 27 occasions shows no signs of abating..' Elsenhower is one-of. the 200 members of the exclusive club, and he is certain to re turn on periodic visits to play the wcll-manlcured course. White House aides say that the Augusta layout-including have the field of science.- "All of us are going to have our hands full keeping up with scientific discoveries, understanding them and de veloping the writing skills so that we can help other people understand them too," he said. "Not the mathematical form ulas, but how these discov eries have rearranged our environment. "People's tastes and Inter ests are changing. Nineteen sixty-one may be the year when we send a man Into outer space. It Is a safe pre diction, I think, that news papers and news media of all kinds will change more In the remainder of the century than they have In the first 00 years, "Even the American langu age is changing, not only with the introduction of new words like count-down - and launching pad, but perhaps with a new orientation. . Many Important Things Johnson said that it Is more Important now for journalists to master good news writing than It was in previous gener ations because there are so many more, vitally important things to report now than ever before. The UPI already is em barked in a new direction in the writing of some stories, he said. What Is culled the "blue ribbon technique" has been developed to eliminate the hackneyed second-day ap proach taken in the writing of many news stories, he said. This method involves a human-interest approach to a news event, such as an air plane crash, that occurred the night before. mm. mm Slab and Rough Blox-Groen , Dandy To Burn With Dry Wood' Big Double load or Single Load MEDFORD FUEL CO, Ph. SP 2-2111 - Court at McAndrews will smell the end of the steel- labor armistice coming. Makings of Boom . These factors alone cannot make a booming steel market, But when you add anti-recession moves by the new ad ministration, higher defense spending, a recovery In home building, a re-entry into the steel market by the railroad oil and gas industries, and other miscellaneous users. "you have the makings of a boom," the Iron Age editor declared. His forecast: The boom in steel will, make its statistical start In March 1061. Fuel will be on the fire by mid-1961, Customer uncertainty of sup plies when they are wanted will show up by Labor Uay and the big drive to order "safely" will come in the first six months of 1962. Dallas. Neufeldt said the note by a prisoner who had been a cottage valued at more than $75,000-is Eisenhower's favor ite vacation headquarters. He has made a habit of coming down immediately after the Masters' event lo play with the winner. Crowds running well over 40,000 have kept him away from Augusta in past years, partly for security reasons. But, as the President said. he will be a "free man" and will not be accompanied by a phalanx of bodyguards after he leaves the White House next Jan. 20. Cabin' Offered " It is expected that club of ficials will insist that the Chief Executive and Mrs. Eis enhower stay in "Mamie's Cabin" whenever they are hore, In office or not. The "cabin" is a lV4-slory brick split-level the club had built especially to house the first family. But the Eisen howers do- not own it and other members occupy it when the President is not here. One builder said the cost of Interior decorations and fur nishings - selected with Ma mie's liking for pink in mind -ran about $35,000. The Augusta club was not designed for the average week end golfer who patron izes daily fee courses. Costs Expensive Members arc secretive about the costs of joining, but one version in Augusta is that ini tlatlon .fees and other . ex penses are now $10,000. In addition, II costs another SlOOO to $3,000 fdr the aver age member in dues and mis cellaneous costs. Eisenhower joined shortly after World War II when the fees were not as high as they are today.

Stable operations and employment in our forest products plants depend upon a steady, even flow of raw material. For this reason,, we manage our tree farms under sustained yield forestry principles. The practice is best described by a brief example: . i It takes about SO. years to grow a Douglas fir to sawlog size. If a tree farm in the fir area is to produce a continuous yield, it must contain relatively equal amountsof trees, ages 1 to 80. Each year the trees attaining 80 ycars of age can be harvested and the land reforested with another timber crop. By repeating this cycle, the land will produce a constant, and comparatively uniform flow of wood year after year. Today the volume of old-growth timber we harvest is carefully controlled. The purpose is to gain the time needed to establish new ' stands' of timber that range from seedling to maturity on our lands. A stable forest industry, backed by a continuous raw material supply ; is essential to the future prosperity of the Pacific Northwest The industry supports more than one-half of the region's economy.
